Note: Make sure that this file is not stored in an encrypted directory & does NOT have an encrypted file extension!

After the boot after the crash, copy the file C:\Windows\MEMORY.DMP to a safe location (network drive, etc.)

Notify Dell Data Security ProSupport when you have the dump file and advise of the size. Support may need to have you FTP the file if it is too big to e-mail

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

Please obtain a kernel memory dump for Windows Development to analyze--Unfortunately it is impossible to do a root-cause analysis with a Mini Dump. Our driver processes most writes to the HDD as part of encryption so we get pointed to frequently.

Note: It is vital that the CMGShield.log comes from the same computer so we can use the build number to parse the results of the dump.
